Hello! Welcome to the 331st edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we look at the timing for buying Tokens and Expansion launches as well as a new look at the professions in The War Within. We also look at how to explore new markets and what's been happening in the world of Cata Classic gold making!
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
Gold Making and Token prices go hand in hand. Many of us are motivated to make gold in order to exchange for either game time or balance. The next question comes down to timing. When should you buy to get the most for your money?
The general trend is for tokens to crash most when an expansion launches, especially around the race to world first as that's when the biggest spending tends to occur..
However, if you are looking to just get game time with your Token. Now is the perfect time to get a Token in Cataclysm Classic ..

The Token hasn't been around long enough to track historical expansion data, but you can see a sharp drop as soon as the pre-patch released at the end of April. There was renewed interest for gear and professions and many used real money to get ahead fast. I expect the price to climb steadily from this point onward until the end of the expansion.
